    <p>   The Interpolate Points tool allows you to predict values at new locations based on measurements from a collection of points. The tool takes point data with values at each point and returns areas classified by predicted values. For example
        <ul>
            <li>An air quality management district has sensors that measure pollution levels.    Interpolate Points can be used to predict pollution levels at  locations that don't have sensors, such as locations with at-risk populations&mdash;schools or hospitals, for example.
            </li>
            <li>Predict heavy metal concentrations in crops based on samples taken from individual plants.
            </li>
            <li>Predict soil nutrient levels (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and
so on) and other indicators (such as electrical conductivity) in
order to study their relationships to crop yield and prescribe
precise amounts of fertilizer for each location in the field.

            </li>
            <li>Meteorological applications include prediction of temperatures, rainfall, and associated variables (such as acid rain). 
            </li>
        </ul>

            <p> If checked, a layer of standard errors for the interpolation predictions will be created.  The name of the output layer 
will be the result layer name with 'Errors' appended.
            </p>
            <p>Standard errors are useful because they provide information about the reliability of the predicted values.  A simple rule of thumb is that the true value will fall within two standard errors of the predicted value 95 percent of the time.  For example, suppose a new location gets a predicted value of 50 with a standard error of 5.  This means that this tool's best guess is that the true value at that location is 50, but it reasonably could be as low as 40 or as high as 60.  To calculate this range of reasonable values, multiply the standard error by 2, add this value to the predicted value to get the upper end of the range, and subtract it from the predicted value to get the lower end of the range.

                <ul>
                    <li>Geometric interval&mdash;Areas are based on class intervals that have a geometric series. This method ensures that each class range has approximately the same number of values within each class and that the change between intervals is consistent.
                    </li>
                    <li>Equal interval&mdash;Areas are created such that the range of predicted values  is equal for each area.
                    </li>
                    <li>Equal area&mdash;Areas are created such that the number of data values in each area is equal.  For example, if the data has more large values than small values, more areas will be created for large values.
                    </li>
                    <li>Manual&mdash;This option allows you to define your own range of values for areas.  These values will be entered in the  <b>Class break values</b> parameter below.

            <p>Enter the desired class break values separated by spaces.  For example, if you want class breaks at values of 1.5, 3, and 7, enter  <code>1.5 3 7</code>.  These values will define the upper limit of each class, so the number of classes will equal the number of entered values.  Areas will not be created for any locations with predicted values above the largest entered break value.  You must enter at least two values and no more than 32.

You can then use this information to give recommendations to health officials in those locations.
